戏曲审美观的传承与超越——青春版《牡丹亭》演出的启示

The Inheritance and Transcendence of Opera Aesthetics——The Revelation from the Success of the Youth Version of "The Peony Pavilion"

青春版《牡丹亭》完美地展现出东方文化特有的风格,让人们看到我国古典艺术既优雅含蓄,又热情如火的特性,展现出东方不同于西方的审美观。从对原著编整的角度看,青春版《牡丹亭》继承了汤显祖追求爱情自由的精神,又加强加深对"人间情"的描写,把"情"提高到普世的极致,这又超越了传统的进步思想。同时,它既保持了传统戏曲要求表现唱、做、念、打诸般伎艺的特性,保持了戏曲表演写意性的审美特征,又吸收了当代舞台艺术,让场面和某些程式具有当代性,适合青年观众的口味。青春版《牡丹亭》的成功经验说明,戏曲表演,既要继承传统,又要超越传统。否则,戏曲不可能生存、发展。
